How to think about it

Self-hosted mobile access depends on the boring infrastructure details: public reachability or VPN, TLS, authentication policy, token scope, notification delivery, and how the app behaves when the forge is temporarily unreachable.

Self-hosted access checklist

Host reachable from mobile network: yes/no
TLS certificate trusted by iOS: yes/no
OAuth or token policy chosen: yes/no
Notifications tested: yes/no
Lost-device access revocation documented: yes/no

Practical path

01 Confirm the Forgejo host is reachable from mobile networks.
02 Create a Forgejo personal access token according to your policy.
03 Review notification and approval workflows before broad rollout.

When to choose another path

Private-network forges need a mobile network strategy before rollout.

Token revocation should be part of device offboarding.

Notification behavior may differ when the host is behind strict firewalls.
